[[Brother-Captain ]] '''Corvane Valar ''' was [[Shadow Captain|commander ]] of the [[Raven Guard]]'s 5th [[Battle Company ]] during the [[13th Black Crusade]] and the [[Kathur Reclamation]]. Under his command the [[Raven Guard]] deployed half of 5th Company and a strike cruiser the [[Strike Cruiser]] ''Second Shadow''. Captain Valar had fought with the [[Notable Cadian Trooper Regiments#Mechanised Formations|Cadian 88th Shock Troops]] during siege of Kasr Vallock<sup>{{Fn|1a</sup> }}: and formed some sort of personal relationship with its commander, [[Colonel]] [[Josuan Lockwood]]. During the Reclamation he ordered his men to launch a fake assault<sup>{{Fn|1b</sup> }} on the [[Death Guard|Death Guard's]] battleship ''[[Terminus Est]] and '', instead of carrying out an a boarding action in a futile attempt to delay the destruction of the Imperial fleet in orbit of Kathur. Covered by this fake assault, all Battle-Brothers conducted made planetfall and begin their hit -and -run attacks against advancing Death Guard Traitor Astartes.<sup>{{Fn|1c</sup> }}
The fate of captain Valar is not clear, but it is highly possible he was slain by [[Typhus]].
